Medical Assistant, Urgent Care - South Weymouth at Partner's Healthcare in Weymouth, Massachusetts

Job Description:

Site: Brigham and Women's Physicians Organization, Inc.


At Mass General Brigham, we know it takes a surprising range of talented professionals to advance our mission-from doctors, nurses, business people and tech experts, to dedicated researchers and systems analysts. As a not-for-profit organization, Mass General Brigham is committed to supporting patient care, research, teaching, and service to the community. We place great value on being a diverse, equitable and inclusive organization as we aim to reflect the diversity of the patients we serve.


At Mass General Brigham, we believe a diverse set of backgrounds and lived experiences makes us stronger by challenging our assumptions with new perspectives that can drive revolutionary discoveries in medical innovations in research and patient care. Therefore, we invite and welcome applicants from traditionally underrepresented groups in healthcare - people of color, people with disabilities, LGBTQ community, and/or gender expansive, first and second-generation immigrants, veterans, and people from different socioeconomic backgrounds - to apply.


The Mass General Brigham Medical Group is a system-led operating entity formed by Mass General Brigham to deliver high-quality, low-cost, innovative community-based ambulatory care. This work stems from Mass General Brigham's unified system strategy to bring healthcare closer to patients while lowering total healthcare costs. The Medical Group provides a wide range of offerings, including primary care, specialty care, behavioral and mental health, and urgent care, both digitally as well as at physical locations in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. The group also offers outpatient surgery and endoscopy, imaging, cardiac testing, and infusion. We share the commitment to delivering a coordinated and comprehensive experience across all locations, ensuring the appropriate level of care is available to every patient across our care delivery sites.
Urgent care, sometimes known as walk-in care, fast care, or express care, is a convenient option for patients who require timely medical care, but the situation is not an emergency. We treat adults and children ages 6 months and older and provide care for a wide range of illnesses and injuries, including allergies, asthma, coughs, bronchitis, colds, flu, COVID-19, fever, headache, broken bones, sprains and strains, eye and ear infections, rashes, cuts, sexually transmitted infections, stomach pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. Because patients typically come to us when they aren't feeling their best, it is incredibly important to us that our staff members strive to provide the compassion and emotional support our patients need.
Our Fast Care/Urgent Care Center is located at 541 Main St, South Weymouth. Our center is staffed Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, Saturdays from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, and Sundays from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm.



Job Summary
We are seeking a full-time, 36-hour Medical Assistant to join our team! Since Urgent Care is a 7-day-per-week operation, the schedule for this role will include 12-hour weekday shifts, coverage every other weekend (both Saturday and Sunday), as well as some holidays. As true clinical support partners to our providers, our Medical Assistants get the opportunity to work autonomously to the top of their education/certification while also functioning as part of the care team.
Responsibilities include:
Ensuring efficient patient flow through the office
Assisting during office visits (rooming/vitals, examinations, procedures, immunizations, and treatments as directed)
Performing clinically appropriate tasks related to patient panel management (administrative support, phone calls, test results, prior authorizations, coordination of care, etc.)
Maintaining neat, clean, stocked, and safe exam rooms and patient care areas
Interacting with patients and their families in a professional and courteous manner consistent with their needs.


We do our best to keep all employees in their assigned departments; however, you may also be asked to float to other departments in the building during orientation (for training/precepting purposes) or during times of staffing shortages/other extenuating circumstances (for cross-coverage purposes).
